Stories That Need to Be Heard
We continue to interview Vista Maria survivors on the podcast. We’ve also spoken with former Vista Maria employees, whose interviews you can watch on YouTube at More Than Just Luck.
We were excited to welcome Nala Ray to the studio for a one-on-one interview with Greg Wier.
Nala speaks openly about her experiences with OnlyFans and shares her personal story, including how her husband, Jordan, encouraged her to bring God into her life and change direction. Today, she talks candidly about her past, her future, and the path that brought her to where she is now.
Help Us Keep Moving Forward
Thank you for your continued support. Together, we can bring awareness to places like Vista Maria and demand accountability when people in positions of trust cause harm.

First and foremost, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has purchased the book. Your support is the absolute fuel that keeps this engine running.
While many of you have grabbed copies on Amazon, don’t forget that the book is also available on Audible.
⚠️ Let’s clear one thing up:
Greg didn’t use an AI voice to narrate this audiobook. Every single chapter is delivered in his own raw, authentic voice – the only way this story could truly be told.
If you want the full, unfiltered experience straight from the source, head over to Audible and hear it for yourself.
The energy in the room was electric, the turnout was incredible, and seeing so many of you show up to support the mission was truly humbling. It was a night of deep connections and a powerful reminder of the community we are building together. We couldn’t have asked for a better launch!
🚧Under Construction:
The New Home of Content! The wait is almost over! Construction has officially begun on our brand-new podcast studio!
The crews are hard at work, and we fully expect the build-out to be finished by the end of this month. This state-of-the-art space will allow us to bring you higher production value and even more “bombs” of wisdom.
Speaking of which… keep your eyes peeled this month for Dropping Bombs Podcast previews. We’ll be dropping exclusive teasers of what’s to come very soon! 💣
📈Our Digital Footprint:
Our community is exploding across every platform!
Here is a look at our current statistics as we continue to scale:
Thank you for watching, sharing, and growing with us.
Let’s keep this momentum going!
Stay Focused,

May is already off to a fast start, and the momentum behind More Than Just Luck continues to build in a big way.
Right out of the gate, the response has been undeniable. The book is being flooded with 5-star reviews, with readers sharing how it’s shifted their perspective on success, failure, and what it really takes to build something real. The feedback has been honest, raw, and incredibly powerful.
We took a trip out to Las Vegas and stepped into the studio with Brad Lea on the Dropping Bombs podcast. Let’s just say… a few things may have been “accidentally” mentioned about what’s coming next. Nothing official of course. Just a couple microphones, some real conversations, and something that might rhyme with… broadcast. Stay tuned.
The podcast run continues to expand, with features on Underdog to Entrepreneur with Pat Miller and In The Trenches in Australia, pushing the message of the book to a global audience.
On the distribution side, More Than Just Luck just hit another major milestone. The book is now officially available on Barnes & Noble and Kobo, expanding access even further for readers everywhere.
Sales continue to climb across Amazon, Kindle, and Audible, with hundreds of copies already sold. The response has been real. Readers and listeners are connecting with the raw stories, the setbacks, the risks, and the truth behind what it actually takes to build something from nothing. The support has been nothing short of overwhelming, and it’s clear the message is hitting home.
On the analytics side, the growth tells the story just as loud as the words do. Since launching the YouTube channel, it has already surpassed an astounding 326,000 total views across all videos. That momentum is only continuing to build, with more content and reach expanding daily.
As of May 1st, the platform numbers continue to rise with over 18,000 subscribers on YouTube, nearly 2,000 followers on TikTok, and growing audiences on Instagram and Facebook, all while those platforms have barely been tapped. There is a lot more coming.
And now, we celebrate.
The official More Than Just Luck Book Release Party is happening this Sunday, May 3rd from 3:30pm to 7:30pm at Prestige Banquet Hall. Expect free hors d’oeuvres, top shelf liquor, and live entertainment from DJ Eclipz. This is more than a book launch. It is a moment to come together, celebrate the journey, and enjoy what’s been built.
Come out, have some fun, and be part of it.

Hundreds of copies have already been sold across Amazon, Kindle, and Audible. The response has been incredible, with readers and listeners connecting deeply to the story, the risks, the setbacks, and the reality of what it truly takes to succeed. The support has been overwhelming, and it’s clear the message is resonating.
The book is now available on Amazon in hardcover, paperback, and eBook formats, as well as on Kindle and Audible. Sales continue to grow daily across all platforms. On the media side, the podcast run is gaining serious traction. A major appearance is set for April 20th on the Dropping Bombs Podcast with Brad Lea. Greg has also been featured on Underdog to Entrepreneur, Nothing Fancy, and In The Trenches, expanding the reach internationally. A sincere thank you to every platform that has helped share the message.
As of March 31st, the growth across platforms continues to climb with over 13,000 YouTube subscribers, nearly 2,000 TikTok followers, and over 200 followers each on Instagram and Facebook, even with minimal focus on those channels. The numbers are moving daily, and the support behind them has been incredible.
You can also visit YouTube for the latest coverage and stories surrounding Richard Dominick, former producer of The Jerry Springer Show, including allegations of living a double life for nearly two decades, maintaining a hidden relationship, financially supporting a separate household, and keeping two completely different worlds from colliding until those truths were exposed.
Coverage also dives into the ongoing situation involving Matt Wurnig and 50 Dates 50 States, highlighting how a once fast-rising platform unraveled due to poor decisions, controversy, and actions that ultimately led to the collapse of his reputation and career.
Looking ahead, the official book release party is set for May 3rd from 3:30 PM to 7:30 PM at Prestige Banquet Hall. This will be a major moment to celebrate the launch, connect in person, and bring everything full circle.
March is here and this is the month everything becomes real.
The first wave of early book orders ships March 2nd, which means many of you will have More Than Just Luck in your hands before the official release. We have already surpassed 1500 copies in pre-sales alone! If you secured an early copy, you are part of the first group helping launch this story. If you have not ordered yet, copies are available now atgregwier.com. Limited quantities available of the Exclusive Signed Bundle (less than 50 remain).
February brought major momentum. Our videos were seen by tens of thousands of viewers across platforms and the reach continues to grow every day. The message behind More Than Just Luck is spreading quickly and the engagement heading into release month has been incredible. Thank you to everyone sharing, commenting, and helping build this movement.
We have also released the latest animated video, and it captures a pivotal moment. The moment everything changed was not planned. It was not scripted. It was the day Terry Miller stood on a table, wearing only boxers, a dress shirt, black socks, and a tie. He looked a struggling team in the eye, and reminded them exactly who they were and who they were about to become. That moment became a turning point. A team that was barely holding on suddenly had clarity, direction, and belief again. The speech reignited confidence and accountability. It reminded everyone that the story was not over and that momentum can shift in a single moment when the right words meet the right people at the right time. The animation brings that energy to life and shows the power of leadership and belief when everything feels uncertain. More animations are on the way, each diving deeper into real moments and decisions that shaped this journey.
As more readers receive their copies, groundbreaking stories will begin surfacing. These are stories that have not been told publicly before. Stories people assumed would stay buried. Expect real conversations around unheard experiences, scandals, lies, deceit, and the truths most people never see behind the scenes of business and life. This is not a polished highlight reel. It is the raw side of the journey, and it will spark conversation.
We also traveled to New York to visit the iHeartRadio studios for an interview with Passage To Profit. It was an exciting and meaningful experience and we are extremely thankful for the opportunity. Greg was also a special guest on the Beyond Fulfillment Podcast, where deeper conversations about the book, the journey, and the mindset behind it all took place. In a few weeks, we will be making a guest appearance on Entrepreneurs on Fire Podcast in the month of March. More media appearances and interview announcements are coming soon! An additional thank you to Kevin from Nothing Fancy Podcast for having us on to talk about the upcoming release, as well as unheard sneak peaks from More Than Just Luck!
If you are receiving an early copy, your reviews matter. Once you finish reading, share your thoughts, post your favorite quotes, and tag @morethanjustluck. Reviews help drive visibility and credibility during launch month and early readers play a major role in spreading the word.
Author of the Year 2026We are officially pushing for Author of the Year 2026. Now is your chance to vote below and show your support. Every vote, share, and mention helps move this message further.
Join us Sunday, May 3rd from 3:30–7:30 PM for the official More Than Just Luck book release party for Greg Wier. Celebrate the launch with hors d’oeuvres, free cocktails, and an unforgettable afternoon of stories, networking, and celebration. Space is limited, so RSVP now at gregwier.com.

March is launch month. The stories are coming out. This is only the beginning.
Hey everyone,We come with some very exciting news! More Than Just Luck has officially gone to print. The book has been accepted by Audible and Kindle, and we are currently working with partners to place it in Barnes and Noble and other major retailers near you!
We want to start by giving well-deserved recognition to Preston Cichoski, the writer behind More Than Just Luck. Preston spent hundreds of hours on this project and worked relentlessly to bring these stories to life with honesty, accuracy, and impact. His dedication, work ethic, and commitment to telling the story the right way played a major role in making this book what it is.
A huge thank you to Chuck Alkazian of Pearl Sound Studios, a Grammy-winning producer, who recorded the audiobook version of More Than Just Luck. His involvement brought an incredible level of professionalism and quality to the audio experience and helped elevate the project even further. Bringing a book like this to life takes a strong team, and we’re grateful to be working with great partners helping us get the word out.
We’ve been sitting down for interviews and podcasts, and we want to thank Kevin from Nothing Fancy Podcast and Gary Kozlowski for sitting down with me to help unravel the truth behind More Than Just Luck with in-depth interviews. A special thank you to Sarah Ziegler for handling the media and to Ed Zatyracz for the behind-the-scenes work that continues to bring both the media and the book to life.
This book was built in long nights. Countless evenings and weekends spent in bars and restaurants, retracing Greg’s past and reopening chapters most people would rather forget. Some of it even unfolded in Greg’s basement, which is a one-of-a-kind, fit for a rockstar, and of course, with a few drinks along the way.
More Than Just Luck is a raw, unfiltered look at success, failure, and the dangerous detours that can derail progress if you’re not paying attention. Greg doesn’t sugarcoat a thing. He shares how he nearly lost his life three separate times—at the hands of people he trusted most. The stories sound unbelievable, but they’re real. Greg survived what would have broken most, emerging on the other side while others were left behind, still wondering how he made it out.
We’re also excited to announce a book release party on Sunday, May 3rd, 2026. Join us to celebrate the release with a cash bar and appetizers from 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM. More details will be shared in the next newsletter, but mark your calendar now!
Pre-orders will open in early February!
Hardcover: $19.99
Paperback: $32.95
These prices are available for a very limited time. Pre-order your copy and it will ship the first week of March.
Thank you to everyone who has supported this project so far. We can’t wait to see you in May!
